Featured Deviant of the Month

TalentedWritersGuild is a literature group committed to the encouragement, collection, and archival of high quality prose and poetry works. To find out more about the group, please click here.

Here at TalentedWritersGuild, we encourage deviants to select only their best pieces of literature for submission. As judges, we look for pieces that simultaneously move us, challenge us, and inspire us as readers; pieces that stimulate us emotionally and intellectually; and the pieces that display true technical skill. When we vote, we consider all these things, and let only the pieces we deem up to snuff through to our gallery. This pushes our members to excel, challenge themselves, and improve their craft, and provides our readers with high quality literature to read.

The Featured Deviant of the Month is a member whose submissions meet and surpass this criteria.

The first line plunges you in without hesitation and each line after locks you into the narrator's experience, pairing rhythm, description and narrative to give an unflinching insight into personal experience.

The technical skill visible in this piece is just amazing. The imagery is just breathtaking, with everything from nature imagery to rival Wordsworth to pictures that ground the piece in things we experience everyday. Though it's a long piece, it is well worth sticking with it to the end.

In the words of TwilightPoetess:Blending beautiful language with an intense tale of the pressures that young romances put upon us, Nichrysalis takes readers down a trail that many relate to easily, and reminds us that even the people we dream about aren't perfect.

Hayling, the title of our story set about two hundred years in the future,

centers around a satellite repairman, Carter Riaz (Rise), who deviates from his

tasks one day to investigate why one satellite has never been put in to be repaired,

despite its state of disrepair. What he uncovers sends him into a realm of an

abandoned project turned experiment which he will not be able to escape

without the help of Hayling, whoever or whatever they may be.

Please check out our Featured Gallery, which shall be hosting all of Nichrysalis's submitted works. Please also peruse his gallery for yet more awesomeness and remind him on his profile of what an amazing writer he is. Oh yes, and please this article to spread the word!
